Good point about the timing of Varoufakis' resignation.

>they couldn't accept the conditions since they got voted into office on a promise of putting an end to the exploitation of the Greek people

I really wonder what they were thinking back in Dec/Jan. They campaigned on ending austerity, the people voted "No", months later supporting their campaign promises, and when push came to shove they folded immediately. What were they hoping would happen or what were they hoping to accomplish?

I can't see how this won't end the government. The next election in Greece is going to be...interesting.
